Hi!
I just installed MyODBC on a fresh Win98 without a single problem.
The ODBC setup is the standard ODBC setup from Microsoft (I can
however agree that it's a disaster :), but it should not overwrite
anything without asking for it.

Calistra> Any advice much appreciated.
You can't just copy the myodbc.dll files; Thanks to Microsoft's
infinite wisdom, the only way to get a ODBC installed is to use the
MyODBC setup program.
What exactly did it do setup program do wrong?
